Seeds of Agito


My apologies for not updating this fic for nearly two weeks. I was reading the raw, untranslated version of the manga and had to come up with original stories before using the elements from the DSQ manga, hence the delay of this fic. Now that this fic is back on track, the story's going to commence after the "capture" of Kelberos, and once again the story focuses again on the Akitsuki Ferry survivors.


We shift back to the DDS students as Class M takes the spotlight where Hikaru meets up with Kobato and Ringo to discuss taking steps to find other Akatsuki Ferry survivors, which would set things from here on as this chapter would "introduce" potential survivors…

Also, another character from the CLAMP manga, Kobato, makes an appearance who is going to cause trouble for our DDS heroes. And lastly, starting in this chapter, you'll be going for a rollercoaster ride as the race to find the survivors are to be met by pursuing Lords who are after the "Agito" seeds


After a recent mall tour at Yokohama, Kobato Hanato is set to return to Tokyo to resume her normal activities though she still keeps in touch with Ringo and Hikaru as she secretly helps the Class M leader in searching for the remaining Aklatsuki Ferry survivors, though her manager urges her to stop this "foolishness" but she refused as she feels it is her duty as a fellow Akatsuki Ferry survivor to help a fellow survivors regardless of the publicity should the press finds out about this.

After that, she heads back to Tokyo to go home.

138: Kyōhaku part 1

A few days following Kelberos' surrender and capture due in part of DDS, Class M's Hikaru and Fuu visits the still-comatose Umi at the Tokyo Hospital and began "talking" to her as they believe that Umi hearing their voices would reach to her subconsciously and rouse her from her coma though doctors said this would give slight chances for that to happen and cautions that if Umi were to wake up, she might go in to shock should she find out about her condition.

"Though your intentions are good…we caution you about Ms. Ryuuzaki's reaction should she wake up…"

"We know…"

"We want her to wake up to let her know we are here for her…"

By then Umi's parents came and thanked the two Class M members for their help in rescuing their daughter and they assure to them that Umi will wake up and will come to accept what has befallen her and that they will do everything to raise her spirits, which made Class M feel assured of this and they hope that Umi would eventually recover regardless of her physical condition. After that the two DDS students left as Fuu tells Hikaru that she is heading back to the Metropolitan Police Department since she is still G3-X's user, while Hikaru heads home.

"I got to go…I got part-time job at the MPD…"

"Yeah…me too…I am heading back to DDS… see you…"

As Fuu leaves, Hikaru heads for the parking lot to board her Ducati motorcycle, but before she is about to put on her helmet, she got a text message from Kobato which stated that she wants to meet with her as Ringo sets up a meeting and the redhead DDS student guessed that this has something to do with the Akatsuki Ferry survivors. She then leaves the hospital as she heads for the place where the meeting would take place.

"This better be good…hope that we get to see more of the Akatsuki Ferry survivors…"

Meanwhile, somewhere in a suburban area of Tokyo, the scene shifts at the inside of a rented apartment where a man, in his mid-20's, is holding several photographs where it shows Kobato and Ringo hanging out with each other as well as hanging out with Hikaru. Also shown within the photographs are the two singers accompanying the G3-Trailer with G3-X guiding them towards ARK Research Facility, and a separate photo shows Agiuto in action as well as Hikaru changing to and back from being Agito.

"This is a good giveaway…and I can use this to make me a little richer…"

A wicked smile is formed within the mystery man's lips as he has plans laid out for the three teens.

About more than an hour later, Hikaru meets up with Kobato while she waits for Ringo to arrive and the two girls hang out at an outdoor snack bar where the two girls gather in a table and there the discussion began with Hikaru telling her about her time as a DDS student while juggling her "critical time" being Agito. Kobato is impressed by this yet she is shown to have concern for the redhead beauty.

"Though I'm glad that you're a DDS student…be careful as some of the MPD officials are hell-bent on getting Agito…and if they find out your alter ego…"

"They won't…and with Fuu as G3-X…she'll keep that Kojima-jerk at bay…"

"Still…you got to be careful…"

"I am…"

Kobato cautions Hikaru about keeping her identity secret as she reminds her that majority of the MPD are after "Agito" which Hikaru assures that things will turn out well for the best as she told her that G3-X is Agito's "staunch supporter" and will make sure that Kojima won't lay a finger on her though Kobato stated otherwise that corruption may thrive at the MPD. At this point Ringo arrived as she is carrying a folder with her and there wasted no time getting to business.

"Sorry I'm late…"

"That's okay…"

"Have a seat and get a cola…"

"Yeah…but first…here's the reason why I called you two…"

Opening the folder, Ringo showed to the two girls a printed list of the possible Akatsuki Ferry survivors as she used her "connections" to dig into the ferry's manifest and there she is able to get to print the names of the surviving passengers who are not yet targeted by the Lords, and there the two glances at the list to see that there are 11 names listed on the printout. The names on the printout are listed as:

- Kiyokazu Fujimoto

- Sayaka Okiura

- Miyuki

- Brisu Fujisaki

- Madoka Fujisaki

- Kohaku

- Kanoko

- Pop

- Kate

- Kazahaya Kudo

- Rikuo Himura

Ringo told Hikaru and Kobato that though they are the surviving Akatsuki Ferry passengers, she is not sure if they too possess the so-called "Agito" seeds or if their "Agito" powers are awakened, which Hikaru said that so far there are no reported incidents about the mentioned names so she assured to them that so far those on the list are safe for now, and that they must act and make contact with the survivors.

"Wow…I really didn't recall having so many passengers…I thought that the ones that we encountered several months back are the ones…I guess time flies by since four years ago…maybe because I lost my memories back then…at least we got ourselves a good start…"

"Any idea where they are? Is there a possibility that they have powers like Hikaru?"

"You mean them becoming Agito like Hikaru? I'm not so sure yet…"

However, their conversation is interrupted when a man, who emerged from a seat near the girls' table and approached the three girls and stood in front of them with Kobato getting defensive as she recognized the man, as he is identified as Kazuto Okiura, and Hikaru senses that there is hostility coming from her aimed at the man, and noted that Kobato is glaring at the man though he is smirking deviously.

"Kobato…what's wrong?"

"Stay behind me, Ringo…this guy's trouble…"

When Ringo asked Kobato if she knows him, Kobato stated that besides the fact that Kazuto is a debt collector, he is also a blackmailer as he uses scrupulous means to extort money from certain "newbie" celebrities that resulted in them disappearing from the entertainment industry. Moreover, she told her that Kazuto appeared to have some "connection" that resulted in him getting acquitted of charges hence he is "untouchable".

"You…leave my friends alone…if it's me you want, fine."

"Kobato…huh? Hikaru?"

"Okay, bub…if you're going to harass them…you'll have to get pass me..huh?"

Before Hikaru is about to act, Kazuto brought out a tape recorder where he plays it, which reveals that he secretly recorded Hikaru and Kobato's conversation which included her admission as Agito, as well as Kobato and Ringo being Akatsuki Ferry survivors. He even showed to them the pictures of the three girls participating at the ARK Facility stakeout and Hikaru transforming into Agito, which Kobato stared wide-eyed as she realized that Kazuto has virtually "pinned" them down which he smirked deviously seeing that he has the three girls under his "power".

"How…?"

"Kobato…he must've seen us near the ARK Facility!"

"How did you…?"

Kazuto smirked even wickedly as he seemingly have control over the situation as he uses the "evidences" to put the three girls in their places and makes his statement known.

"Unless you don't want to let the paparazzi get their noses on this…you're going to go into negotiation with me…which only I can make the demands…and you don't."

Kazuto then told the three girls his demands in exchange for keeping quiet about their secrets.

To Be Continued…


Just as Hikaru and the two teen J-Pop idols are about to initiate their move to meet the other Akatsuki Ferry survivors, a blackmailer shows up as he turn out that he has been keeping Kobato under his eyes the moment he learned that Hikaru met her and that he has hit the "jackpot" with Agito under his "hands" and now he's going to extort them just to keep their secrets a secret.

The list of names shown above are from two of CLAMP series, Angelic layer and Kobato, and the last two characters at the list are from Legal Drug, while Kate, Pop and Kanoko are from the manga Sweet Valerian, though they are not directly from CLAMP, though the company did the series' character designs.

Hey, any characters designed by CLAMP whether they are made by other anime companies are considered "part" of CLAMP, hence they're included in this fic…


Preview:

Hikaru, Ringo and Kobato must deal with the blackmailer or else he would reveal their secrets, but they must plan carefully as to not resort to killing him knowing this would tarnish their reputations…
